Before moving with my family from Southern California back to the East Coast to be closer with family, I sat down with Emmy Award Winner (The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire), Academy Award Nominee (The Wolf of Wall Street), Terence Winter. Then we moved, and I paused the podcast. And this episode stayed locked on my hard drive for almost three years.  Time has done nothing but age Terry’s stories like a fine wine. You will laugh your ass off, be inspired, and realize that even those on top had their struggles at one point. In Terry’s case, his struggles were so large and his path to Hollywood so unique (and hysterical) that you will be referencing this conversation for years to come (or at least I will). Sit back, throw some ear muffs on your kids (we left it raw so F bombs abound) and enjoy the brilliant screenwriter that is… Terence Winter. 10,000 NOs podcast is now in it’s 2.0 phase: after a long pause from late 2021 to late 2023, it has returned in a more raw format: shorter episodes, like the Monday Morsels of yesteryear (they may be short, solo riffs by Matt on central themes of the pod, excerpts from Matt’s 10,000 NOs Insiders Community Zooms, or excerpts from Insiders VIP sessions with VIPs from the entertainment interview and beyond). Be on the look out as, every now and then, we will likely drop some old school, long-form, classic 10,000 NOs interviews as bonus episodes.  Prefer to WATCH (versus listen)?

We aim to educate & inspire you with stories and conversations with others who have traveled a path that may look enviable now, but it was not always that way.  It is not the critic who counts.
